TTCers Unite! ~a place to chat~ (3)

[annaapple]

hello everyone! still in the process of moving soooo... I got to the doc today to get the results of my 21 day progesterone test. It was weird on the 9th was day 21 and AF was expected on 16 BUT she showed up on the 13 and only stayed for 3.5 days wich is totally wrong ususally she is right on time for 6-7 days sooooooo.. I gotta have a little chat with ye ole doc.. Anna still praying for ya

Thanks beccasmommy! Still praying for you too - but that wasn't exactly what i was praying for... unless that was a severe implantation bleed!

In my heart of hearts I feel it is not going to happen for us before we have moved (that's a 2ww now too, although more running around like a nutter than waiting for the boxes to pack themselves...) AF was quite short this month, although it does often stop and then re-start. I'm in the w2ow, but once again don't think dh and I will be in the same place at the right time. I'm sure God knows what He's doing! I just wish I knew what He was doing!

lovesdolphins, I understand your hesitation and wait till the weekend, so will hold off stating the obvious too.

and , not just for you but for everyone round here.

Check out "Early Pregnancy Symptoms' thread in the Pregnancy forum...

LOL - are you talking about me Anna?? teehee

I think it's positive, but I can't confirm that yet - probably Saturday before I can.

 

[annaapple]

Oh, yes, I so am talking about you! But thought you should be the first to say something directly in here!

I just couldn't resist a little forum leakage...

Well, it's good night from me!

 

[beccasmommy]

so here are the results: All is A okay, keep trying for another 6 months and see what happens..... I am tempeted to take a test just to rule out mega implantaion bleed, I dunno I would expect that it would be negative but can't hurt to try.

Which birth control method do you think is the best?

 

[lovesdolphins]

Which birth control method do you think is the best?

IMHO - NFP, or Billings Method is. Pretty much anything non-hormonal.

 

[LovesEnduringPromise]

Thanks!

I don't remember whether I mentioned this in this thread, but I think I finally ovulated (at cycle day 61 - sheesh!) about two and a half weeks ago. I tested on Monday and got a big fat negatory, but that was only 14 days past ovulation, which I suppose was a bit soon. In the meantime, my period hasn't showed up yet, so I'm clinging to a tiny bit of hope. Then again, who knows, with my crazy cycles? I'll test again next Monday, if my period doesn't show up by then.

I'm so so hopeful for you, Lovesdolphins!

 

[lovesdolphins]

I'm still waiting - but I think AF will be making her grand appearance soon. I'm now getting some spotting, etc when I wipe.

 

[LovesEnduringPromise]

I havent gotten my period since march, but I did in july for like 3 days, and its still july and today I saw some spotting(very light), and right now I have this burning feeling when I pee, and it feels like I have to urinate constantly but nothing comes out....anybody know what to do for this...I think its some kind of infection....

it could possibly be a urinary tract infection - what it sounds like to me.

 

[annaapple]

Yep, def. sounds like a urinary tract infection to me. Home remedies: drinks buckets of water to flush it out (and make peeing burn less), also cranberry juice can be helpful. Avoid too many sweet things though as that can encourage bacterial growth. If it doesn't get better on its own in a couple of days see a doc - you don't want it travelling up to your kidneys (been there, done that, with oldest ds - a week in hospital on IV anti-biotics - yuk). Get well soon!

lovesdolphins - has AF showed up or are you still just spotting (if you don't mind my asking). I've been following your story this month like some tv show I'm addicted to!

 

[LovesEnduringPromise]

Thanks to both of you. I knew it had to be some kind of infection. I am drinking tons of water now....and have peed like 4 times already...and each time it feels better...so Im sure its flushing the bacteria out...What causes the infections anyways??

 

[lovesdolphins]

Cranberry juice is a good preventative - take a swig of it every so often to prevent it.
It's just like any infection - who knows what causes it - just keep it clean down there.
I think one of the things that could cause it is not going to the restroom after sex. (not quite sure how all that works since there are 2 holes)


- as for me - just spotting - very minimal. I'm still up in the air about what's going on.

 

[livin4christ9203]

well.. just a little over 1 more day till we test! I'm so nervous!

 

[lovesdolphins]

I'm not sure whats going on with me. Still spotting, but no AF yet. I also have some ickiness with my stomach (if it's MS I ain't complainin')

 

[jenrenee]

lovesdolphins - has AF showed up or are you still just spotting (if you don't mind my asking). I've been following your story this month like some tv show I'm addicted to!

LOL! I've been doing the same!

lovesdolphins - it seems like you get another symptom every other day! That sounds like a good sign to me!! When are you planning to test? Obviously you are much more patient than the rest of us! Hoping for a positive for you!!

 

[lovesdolphins]

Well, I'm going to test when I get home from work this morning (work 1/2 day), but SHHHH I'm not telling DH.
We will test tomorrow AM together.

 

[LovesEnduringPromise]

I have sugar-free cranberry mix to mix w/ water....will that do?

 

[jenrenee]

Well, I'm going to test when I get home from work this morning (work 1/2 day), but SHHHH I'm not telling DH.
We will test tomorrow AM together.

I won't say a word...

Good Luck!! I can't wait to hear what you find out!!
